112. The Murder of Daniel Morcombe

01/01/24 • 39 min

No story that we could tell would be anything except for mortifying when it deals with the death, the kidnapping or the sexual assault of a child. This weeks case unfortunately deals with all three of those things and centers around a sexual predator who was known to police and who had served time previously for sexually assaulting minors. It took eight years and a lot of elaborate work for the police to finally get their man and hopefully this time he wont ever get out of prison, although, his sentence certainly does allow for it.

111. The Sandra Cheskey Story

Something that I have talked about a lot on this podcast is the fact that I do believe that internet sleuths and podcasts like this one are something that can be an assistance to open cases. However, much on the flip side there are many, many times throughout history where we have seen that the victims of crimes and the families of victims of crimes can have their lives SEVERELY damaged and even ruined by people who are always quick to share their opinions and their guilty verdicts with the community at large. Many people think that is something that came around with the advent and the growth of things like social media, something that bonded people together over cases, both open and closed. However, as I am going to show you with this week’s case, onlookers sharing their opinions which in turn turned into rumours is something that predates the internet. In 1973 a group of five teenagers ventured into the forest for a fire and to smoke some marijuana when they were completely ambushed by three brothers. Four teenagers lost their lives that day and one girl survived. However what was clearly a blessing in her life would turn into a curse.

113. The Murders of Drake Ruiz, Daniel Hawkins and Jacob Ivascu

The foolish game goes by many names. In Canada we call it Ding Dong Ditch or Knicky, Knicky, Nine Doors. In The US it’s called Doorbell ditch and Ring and Run and in Europe it goes by names like Chapppy, Knock Off Ginger and more. Most people know the premise. You get dared by a friend to run up to a stranger’s house and either knock on the door or ring the doorbell and then you, and your amused friends, either run or you hide. On January 19th, 2020 in Corona, California some young teenaged boys were out celebrating a birthday when the group dared one of the friends to Ding Dong Dash at a home on Modjeska Summit Road. Little did they know that when they drove away from that home laughing and having a good time that their night and their entire lives were about to change forever.
